Auditor's Report.
To the Citizens of the Town of Saugus :
Having examined and approved the accounts of the several departments of the Town as required by the by-laws, I hereby submit the annual report and trust the citizens of the Town will give it their closest attention and acquire for themselves a good understanding of the financial condition in which we are placed, so that at the coming annual meeting all articles carrying an appropration may be acted upon with intelligence and discretion. It will be seen that the deficiency this year has been increased to the amount of $54,302.12. This has been brought about in large measure by the expenditure of $50,328.84 on new school buildings and the abatement of $4,512 assessed to the City of Lynn on their pumping station property at North Saugus. The amount of uncollected taxes is over $9,300 less than a year ago which is certainly another step in the right direction. The liabillity of the Town on account of school building on the Ist of January amounted to $126,050.00 not including accrued interest on the same.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE PARSONS,
Auditor.
